Comment:
In worldly life people tend to haggle over trivial points, wasting attention and energy in tense standoff without extra room for turning around or truce. If one could look ahead at the long term situation to choose or renounce how one should conduct oneself or treat others, then one would realize that there is no need to be preoccupied with temporary results, and come close to a relaxed and sustainable approach.
